Punching assessment of a slab bridge stock in Finland
Abstract Increased understanding of the punching phenomenon and increasing traffic loads have raised questions about the punching capacity of reinforced concrete slab bridges on columns. In this research, 116 slab bridges are analyzed with rough estimates of the punching loads using the maximum allowable vehicle loads in Finland and the punching ...

Photogrammetric documentation in tunneling
Abstract Photogrammetric surveys for geological excavation documentation are standard practice in tunnel construction, benefiting from the sector's ongoing digitalization. However, the application of photogrammetry often remains confined to geological assessments. By creating comprehensive 3D models of excavated tunnels, it is also possible to evaluate

Measurement of the gamma ray background in the Davis cavern at the Sanford Underground Research Facility [PDF]
Deep underground environments are ideal for low background searches due to the attenuation of cosmic rays by passage through the earth. However, they are affected by backgrounds from γ-rays emitted by 40K and the 238U and 232Th decay chains in the ...
